Mom & Wisconsin

Hello! It has been a long time since my last post—my mom recently had a stoke while I was at the recruitment conference in Wisconsin, so the following week/weekend I traveled to see her and care for her. Mom is doing well, just going to need some time to recover and find out what supports are available for her. My sister, Angie is traveling to be with my mom this Friday-next week. I am grateful that Angie is able to help mom this week. And mom is grateful too!

Here are some photos of our recruitment trip—we met many wonderful candidates who were interested in working at Iowa and we got to catch up with so many of our former graduate school classmates. I saw my friend Katie from graduate school at the conference. She is working at a university in Colorado and I hadn’t seen her since graduation 5 years ago! I forgot to take a picture L!
